Protesters storm offices of leading Bangladesh dailies after a 2024 uprising activist dies

DHAKA: Angry protesters stormed the offices of Bangladesh’s two leading newspapers late Thursday after the death of a prominent activist in last year’s political uprising in Bangladesh. The crowds set fire to the building of one of the dailies, trapping journalists and other staff inside. Hours later, the journalists and other staff were evacuated, and the fire was brought under control early Friday. It was not clear why the protesters attacked the newspapers whose editors are known to be closely connected with the country’s interim leader, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus.
